Summary
In Massachusetts, employment discrimination based on disability is prohibited. When handling interview rescheduling, consider if the candidates disability impacted their ability to communicate or attend. Ensure compliance with ADA guidelines, which may require reasonable accommodation. If the candidates disability does not affect their ability to notify, and they have previously communicated via text, the issue may not be directly disability-related. Consulting an employment attorney can provide clarity on ADA compliance and best practices. If denying rescheduling, communicate the decision respectfully, emphasizing the importance of commitment and communication in your operations.Full Conversation
The candidate was a no call no show to her interview, how can I respond in letting them know that this isn't acceptable in our business as our clients depend on them to show when they have a scheduled shift
You might consider responding with something like this:

While we understand unforeseen circumstances can occur, it's important to inform us in advance of any changes. Please let us know if there were any specific challenges you faced in attending the interview, and if there are ways we can assist to ensure smooth communication in the future."

Your response would indicate I should reschedule the interview however I would not do this normally. Why should I consider allowing a rescheduled interview if they didn't show because they forgot about a dentist appointment but didn't see the need to let us know she would not attend until * hours after her original scheduled appointmnet with us.

In Massachusetts, it's important to ensure that your actions don't inadvertently discriminate against a candidate with a disability. Consider rescheduling if:
- The applicant's disability impacted their ability to communicate or attend.
- It's a reasonable accommodation under ADA guidelines.
- It demonstrates fairness and compliance with non-discrimination laws.
If you have further concerns or need guidance, it might be helpful to consult with a legal advisor specializing in employment law.

This isn't because of disability, it is because of a no call, text or email to notify that she could not make her appointment. Communication to us on scheduled appointments / shifts is a critical component of my business and is detrimental to our company when employees do not show as scheduled.
